HENRY ELIAS OLSON, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

OIL-BURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. 22, 1919.

To all-whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY ELIAS GLsoN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil-Burners; and I do hereby declare thefollowing to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to oil burners and has for its object the production of a simple and efficient oil burner which is adapted for house-hold, heating plant, factory or power use.

Another object of the invention is the production of an oil burner which consists of a minimum number of parts, and which may be very cheaply manufactured.

''With these and other objects in view,this invention consists of certain novel constructions, combinations and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter fully described claimed.

In the drawings Figure 1 is 'atop plan view of the oil burner.

Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the oil burner partly shown in section,

3 is a re'arelevation of the burner, part of the pan being broken away, and

Fig. 4 is a section taken on line 4-4 of Fig. 1.

By referring to the drawings, it will be seen that l-designates the generating cup or pan," which is provided with crossed partitions 2, for dividing the cup or pan 1 into, a plurality of compartments 3. A vertically extending pipe 4 is secured to the cup or pan 1, and this pipe 1 engages a T-joint 5 carried by the pipe 6. The pipe 6 carries a -j0i nt 7 atone end upon which is mounted a valve 8 for controlling the flow of oil through the joint 7. An extension 9 is secured to the joint 7 and this extension 9 carries an elbow 10 to which is secured a pipe 11, the pipe 11 extending parallel with and under the pipe 6.

An elbow 12 is carried by the outer end of the pipe 6, and an upwardly inclined pipe 13 is secured to the elbow 12. The pipe 13 carries an elbow 14, to which is secured the longitudinally extending pipe 15. An elbow 161s secured to the inner end of the pipe 15 and a pipe section 17 is secured to the elbow 16, this pipe section 17 extending at right angles to the pipe 15 and in the same horizontal plane. An elbow 18 is carried by the opposite end of the pipe section 17 and a longitudinally extending pipe 19 is secured to the elbow 18, this pipe extending parallel to the pipe 15 and in the same horizontal plane. A third pipe 20 extends parallel to the pipe 19 and in the same horizontal plane and is connected therewith by means of a pipe section 21, through the medium of the elbow 22. A suitable feed or supply pipe may be connected to the pipe 20 through the medium of a valve 23, which valve may control the flow of fuel into the various pipes connected to the pipe 20.

1 A plurality of substantially inverted T- shaped spreader bars 24: are secured to the three upper pipes 15, 19 and 20 by having the pipes extend through apertures 25 formed in the vertical web portion 26 of the bars 24. The pipe 6 is provided with burner apertures 27 formed in the upper face thereof directly below the spreader plates or bars carried by the'upper pipes 15, 19 and 20. Short spreader plates or bars 28 are carried by the pipe 6 at spaced intervals,

and burner apertures 29 are formed in the upper face of the pipe 11 for discharging a flame against the plates 28, as shown in Fig. 2.

From the foregoing description, it will be seen that an oil burner has been provided which may be very easily disassembled for cleaning as well as quickly assembled. It should also be understood that the burner may be connected with a suitable pressure tank for forcing fuel or vapor through the burner apertures of the burner pipes.

I claim 1. An oil burner comprising a cup, a plurality of upper vaporizing pipes arranged in parallel relation upon the same horizontal plane, means connecting said pipes, a lower pipe supported in conjunction with said cup and connected to one of said first mentioned pipes, a bottom pipe connected to the inner end of said lower pipe, a valve interposed between said bottom and lower pipes for controlling the passage of fuel therethrough, and said bottom and lower pipes provided b with fuel discharge ports arranged in spaced relation upon the upper faces of said pipes and adapted to discharge gaseous fuel from said discharge ports into contacting engage ment with the adjoining pipesd '2. An oil burner comprising a cup, a plurality of upper vaporizing pipes arrangedin parallel relation upon the same horizontal plane, means connecting said pipes, a lower pipe supported in conjunction with said cup and connected to one of said first mentioned pi es, a bottom pipe connected to the inner end of said lower pipe, a valve inter posed between said bottom and lower pipes for controlling the passage of fuel therethrough, said bottom and lower pipes provided with fuel discharge ports arranged in spacedrelation upon the upper faces of said pipes and adapted to discharge gasous fuel from said discharge ports into contacting engagement with theadjoining pipes, and a plurality of flame spreader bars extending across the under face of said upper pipes and adapted to spread the flames discharged from the lower pipe in a lateral direction.

3. An oil burner of the class described comprising a cup, a lower pipe supported upon said cup, a valve carried by the inner end of said lower pipe, a bottom pipe suspended below said lower pipe and provided with a plurality of burner apertures formed therein, spreader plates carried by said lower pipe and arranged directly above said burner apertures for spreading the flames when thesame come in contact with the plates, said lower pipe provided with a plurality of s aced burner apertures uponthe upper face thereof, saidlower pipe provided with an upwardly inclined pipe sec- Copies of this patent may be obtained for tion, a longitudinally extending pipe connected to said upwardly inclined pipe section, an intermediate pipe connected to said last mentioned upper pipe and arranged in the same horizontal plane therewith, a third pipe connected to said intermediate pipe and arranged in the same horizontal plane therewith, a plurality of substantially T- shapedfiame spreading bars supported by said upper pipes, said bars being arranged directly above the burner apertures'formed in the lower pipe for spreading the flame laterally when the same comes in contact with said bars, and a valve carried by the outer end of said third pipe and adapted to be connected with a supply pipe for supplying fuel to said burner. v 7

l. An oil burner comprising a cup, a plurality of vaporizing pipes arranged in parallel relation upon the same horizontal plane, mean connecting said pipes,'alower pi'pe supported in conjunction with said cup and connectedto one ofsaid first men-" tioned pipes, a bottom pipe connected 'to one end of said lower pipe, meansfor control ling the passage of fuel between the bottom and lower'pipes, and said bottom andlower pipes provided with fuel discharge ports arranged in such a position to discharge gaseous fuel from said discharge ports into contacting engagement with the adjoining pipes.

In testlmony whereof I have afiixed my signature. i
